Honey Moon Stages

A relationship? Something meaningful? Forever? HA! All ploys and devious schemes devised by horifically cruel creatures, in order to have their every wish granted for all of eternity. These terms were created to destroy our lives, they were created by the most evil and demented of all creatures, The Female. Ask any boyfriend, or should I say "slave", and they will tell you that the Female is a very mean creature that gets her every way without any questions. They turn us into their servants and force us into a permanent relationship, or a permanent "slavery", as I prefer to call it.

When it comes to relationships the end goal for you and your significant other is to get married. The goal of marriage is a very elusive, it is almost like the top of Mount Everest and you need that special someone to complete the journey. Finding that significant other no easy task, so my WRC 1013 class took on the challenge of finding out what traits each gender looks for in their perfect mate. After we made a list of the most important traits we put them to the test, and everyone in our class surveyed five people and collected our results to see what traits people on campus think are important. Once we came to a conclusion on traits are important, we read about Ted Huston’s study on marriage. Combined with the research my class did and the

The world around us is immense. It is filled with extraordinary individuals, places and experiences. The bonds we form are ceaseless. Every relationship that is formed is one that we would like to experience over and over. Relationships in the world vary from one individual to another but, it is a solid connection that we as a people want to shape in our lives. The different connections that are formed, shape our identity and the identity of who we will become in the coming future. A relationship is a way in which two or more objects, people or concepts are connected. To me a relationship can mean many things but one way that I believe every relationship has is beauty. A way where objects, concepts and people can connect is beautiful because it Is new.

It is argued that long-term happy relationships have needs met while unhappy ones have unmet needs, this was said by Smith and Mackie

In our early years of age, we always look for the perfect match for us that will stay with us for the rest of our life. Is it really worth it? Many people believe it is worth looking for the perfect companion to live the rest of their life with. I believe that not being in a relationship has a positive impact because it helps keep you in shape and gives less risk of being in a bad relationship.

Then Harley reminds them of how much time and devotion they put into the relationship while courting. Harley says that people marry because they enjoy the courting process so much and they want it to continue throughout life. Sadly, couples tend to take each other for granted when the weight of life sets in. Financial struggling generally leads to such issues. However, Harley made the point that money or a career should serve a marriage; a marriage should never serve money or a career. Conversation also had a way of fading out with they couples interests began to separate into their own “spheres.” Couples that grow apart have to make an effort to become more involved in each other’s lives and interests. As the couples share more interests, they have more to talk about. This goes hand-in-hand with the male desire for recreational companionship. He needs a wife that can enjoy activities with him. This gives a balance to the relationship because as the woman becomes more involved in the activities that once made them so close, they gain more to talk about.

The true reason why the relationship was created is to experience intimacy and Oneness. The most intimate relationship is a romantic relationship and the relationship between a mother and a child, as in these two relationships, we get an opportunity to exercise extreme oneness. The sense of separation seems to disappear and we feel and think of the other person as of our own self. When we actually demonstrate oneness, then and only then, we experience the true Joy, as we are our true

The majority of the people on this earth choose to believe once they find their soul mate, they will be able to share a long and happy marriage, “until death do [they] part.” This belief amounts to only a simple myth, as more and more couples file for divorce each year. It is ironic how a man can find the love of his life, his source of the ultimate currency, but is forced to a dead end due to external struggles. In Happier, author Ben-Shahar discusses “the mistaken notion that finding love guarantees eternal bliss leads partners to neglect the journey – the day-to-day issues, activities, and events that shape the relationship” (Ben-Shahar, 121). There are many external factors that can be harmful to a marriage if the couple does not know

Couples who are grounded in their strong sense of commitment and support for each other will also be more refined at defining and negotiating their mutual values and goals together. The result of choosing to focus on the positive and forgetting the negative is prime evidence of the older adult’s quest for meaningful goals and value in the later part of life.

A relationship needs to be built on things other than sexual desire. In Priscilla Pope-Levison's book, she discusses how society’s view of women’s roles is skewed. She stresses the fact that men and women should be equal in relationships. Pope-Levison refers to successful relationships in Shakespeare's plays when she states, “Shakespeare suggests that the couples who argue together stay together - they enjoy their repartees because they sharpen an already lively intelligence and imagination in each other, revealing a strong undercurrent of respect that is essential to love” (215). She also goes on to argue that couples are getting married prematurely and that is why the divorce rate is so high. Couples today just want to rush into things they think they are supposed to do without really being ready for

Why do people get married? What does marriage stand for? Marriage is as a union of two people who wish to unite their lives together. The reason that people today get married is for love. However, marriage means more than love. A reason why many people today get married is that they have found companionship, love, and comfort in another person. The idea of marriage has different meanings to people. Some marry for money, love or resources. As time changes, many philosophies have change with it. Juliet H Severance, states in her book “Marriage” that “marriage institution claim that it offers the best possible opportunity for individual and collective happiness” (Severence 3).The author emphasizes that marriage is a way to achieve happiness.

The different become an advantage and people often commit to a lifelong relationship. Frustration is the second phase. The advantages of attractive point of partner became a disadvantage. People deal conflict in the extreme of their styles and it is the phases most relationship end. The third phases are adjustment.

There are ways to navigate through problems: a shift from judgement to acceptance, realize that there are unsolvable problems, try to change own self, not the partner, and appreciate the different. The last phrases are devotion and there are three characteristics. Both persons have confidence in the relationship, enjoy intimacy, and go with the flow in the

When we develop in a relationship, we may create new ideas of costs and benefits within that current relationship. Communicating those new needs could lower the chances of dissatisfaction within the relationship and risk of breakups in the relationship as well. It may also increase our wellbeing (Griffin). Furthermore, self- satisfaction within relationships we have can cause an increase in negative costs and minimize the positive rewards being exchanged within the relationship (Griffin).When we start a new relationship, it is our responsibility to let one or the
